SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Petitions 

On October 25, 2023, the U.S. 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

received antidumping duty (AD) 

petitions concerning imports of frozen 

warmwater shrimp (shrimp) filed in 

proper form on behalf of the American 

Shrimp Processors Association (ASPA 

or the petitioner).1 These AD petitions 

were accompanied by countervailing 

duty (CVD) petitions concerning 

imports of shrimp from Ecuador, India, 

Indonesia, and the Socialist Republic of 

Vietnam.2

On October 27 and 30, 2023, and 

November 6 and 9, 2023, Commerce 

requested supplemental information 

pertaining to certain aspects of the 

Petitions in separate supplemental 

questionnaires.3 The petitioner filed an 

amendment to the proposed scope on 

October 26, 2023, and responses to the 

supplemental questionnaires on October 

31, 2023, and November 1, 8, and 13, 

2023.4

In accordance with section 732(b) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), the petitioner alleges that imports 

of shrimp from Ecuador and Indonesia 

are being, or are likely to be, sold in the 

United States at less than fair value 

(LTFV) within the meaning of section 

731 of the Act, and that imports of such 

products are materially injuring, or 

threatening material injury to, the 

shrimp industry in the United States. 

Consistent with section 732(b)(1) of the 

Act, the Petitions are accompanied by 

information reasonably available to the 

petitioner supporting its allegations. 

Commerce finds that the petitioner 

filed the Petitions on behalf of the 

domestic industry, because the 

petitioner is an interested party, as 

defined in section 771(9)(E) of the Act.5

Commerce also finds that the petitioner 

demonstrated sufficient industry 

support for the initiation of the 

requested LTFV investigations.6

Periods of Investigation 

Because the Petitions were filed on 

October 25, 2023, pursuant to 19 CFR 

351.204(b)(1), the period of 

investigation (POI) for the Ecuador and 

Indonesia LTFV investigations is 

October 1, 2022, through September 30, 

2023. 

Scope of the Investigations 

The product covered by these 

investigations is shrimp from Ecuador 

and Indonesia. For a full description of 

the scope of these investigations, see the 

appendix to this notice. 

Comments on the Scope of the 

Investigations 

On October 30, 2023, Commerce 

requested information and clarification 

from the petitioner regarding the 

proposed scope to ensure that the scope 

language in the Petitions is an accurate 

reflection of the products for which the 

domestic industry is seeking relief.7 On 

October 26 and November 1, 2023, the 

petitioner provided clarifications and 

revised the scope.8 The description of 

merchandise covered by these 

investigations, as described in the 

appendix to this notice, reflects these 

clarifications. 

As discussed in the Preamble to 

Commerce’s regulations, we are setting 

aside a period for parties to raise issues 

regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).9

Commerce will consider all scope 

comments received and, if necessary, 

will consult with interested parties prior 

to the issuance of the preliminary 

determinations. If scope comments 

include factual information,10 all such 

factual information should be limited to 

public information. To facilitate 

preparation of its questionnaires, 

Commerce requests that scope 

comments be submitted by 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time (ET) on December 4, 2023, 

which is 20 calendar days from the 

signature date of this notice. Any 

rebuttal comments, which may include 

factual information, must be filed by
